What did Ghanaian print culture look like in the mid-twentieth century? Where was it written, published and read? What forms did it take? Who were its authors? What did they write? With these questions in mind, we are tracking written forms and practices in newspapers, periodicals and books, materials at the intersection of print and performance, and bringing together works produced and published locally with works that circulated across the continent or internationally. In doing so we are identifying an expanded group of authors, both Ghanaians and writers from elsewhere who engaged with Ghana in these years, documenting the activities of writers and others who participate in the making of literary works across a range of institutions, and considering in the broadest sense the materials of Ghanaian literature.
